Please Note: As a general rule
the official Sunday run will take place on the Sunday after the monthly
meeting. Runs are compiled with the best of intentions for the enjoyment of club members and whilst reasonable precautions will be taken to assist, no liability will be accepted should participants get lost or break down. It is however polite and considerate to slow down or stop if you cannot see the rider behind you. Riders should inform the rest of the group if leaving early or deviating from the agreed run. Constructive input is always welcome. Many thanks Paul Brand – Club Runs Organiser | |
